  • Page 4 SAFETY Excessive ambient temperature will cause the machine heat dissipation is not smooth, so that the internal components of the machine heat seriously. Usually the maximum operating temperature is 104°F (40°C). Low temperature may lead to performance degradation or damage of components inside the product, resulting in ice inside the water tank.
  • Page 5 SAFETY Many harmful phenomena, such as noise, bright light and harmful gas, will inevitably occur in the welding process. In order to avoid harmful By product phenomena causing harm to the human body, it is necessary to make corresponding preparations in advance. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays that can burn eyes and skin.
  • Page 6 SAFETY Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.  Do not breathe the smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting, keep your head out of the fumes. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.
  • Page 7 SAFETY Flying sparks from the welding arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating or fire.  Welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

    PANEL FUNCTIONS & DESCRIPTIONS Further Controls Explained Lh Digital Display (2) Before welding, displays welding voltage (V), crater voltage or time (S), depending on the parameter being adjusted. During welding, displays welding voltage. The parameter displayed is indicated by the LED below the display. If left inactive for several seconds, display will revert back to main welding voltage setting.

The trigger is pulled once and released to activate the welding circuit, pulled and released again to stops the welding circuit.
  • Page 18 PANEL FUNCTIONS & DESCRIPTIONS welding circuit. Inductance controls the rate of the current rise and fall as the welding wire contacts the workpiece (known as a short circuit). More inductance increases the short circuit time and decreases the short circuit frequency rate. This causes a wider and more penetrating arc, useful for thicker weld joints.

    INSTALLATION & OPERATION §4 Installation & Operation §4.1 Installation & Operation for MIG Welding §4.1.1 Set up installation for MIG Welding (1) Insert the earth cable plug into the negative socket on the front of the machine and tighten it. (2) Plug the welding torch into the MIG torch connection socket on the front panel of the wire feeder, and tighten it.
  • Page 20 INSTALLATION & OPERATION (8) Place wire onto spool holder - (spool retaining nut is left hand thread) Feed wire through the inlet guide tube on to the drive roller. (9) Feed wire over the drive roller into the outlet guide tube, Push the wire through approx 150mm.
  • Page 21: Wire Feed Roller Selection

    INSTALLATION & OPERATION (12) Press and hold the manual wire key to feed the wire down the torch cable through to the torch head. (13) Fit the correct size contact tip over the wire and fasten tightly into the tip holder.
  • Page 22 INSTALLATION & OPERATION types of wire. The wire is held in the groove by the top roller of the wire drive unit and is referred to as the pressure roller, pressure is applied by a tension arm that can be adjusted to increase or decrease the pressure as required.
  • Page 23: Wire Installation And Set Up Guide

    INSTALLATION & OPERATION §4.1.3 Wire Installation and Set Up Guide Again the importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough. The correct installation of the wire spool and the wire into the wire feed unit is critical to achieving an even and consistent wire feed. A high percentage of faults with MIG welders emanate from poor set up of the wire into the wire feeder.
  • Page 24 INSTALLATION & OPERATION (5) Feed the wire through the drive roller (6) Lock down the top pressure roller and into the outlet guide tube of the wire and apply a medium amount of pressure feeder. Using the tension adjustment knob. (7) Check that the wire passes through the centre of the outlet guide tube without touching the sides.

    INSTALLATION & OPERATION §4.1.5 MIG Welding Definition of MIG Welding MIG (metal inert gas) welding also known as GMAW (gas metal arc welding) or MAG (metal active gas welding), is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.

A travel angle of 5°- 15° is ideal and produces a good level of control over the weld pool. A travel angle greater than 20°...
  • Page 30 INSTALLATION & OPERATION Angle to Work - The work angle is the forward back angle of the gun relative to the work piece. The correct work angle provides good bead shape, prevents undercut, uneven penetration, poor gas shield and poor quality finished weld. Correct angle Not enough angle Too much angle...
  • Page 31 INSTALLATION & OPERATION slower speed. Travel speed needs to match the amperage and will decrease as the material thickness and amperage increase. Too Fast Travel Speed - A too fast travel speed produces too little heat per mm of travel resulting in less penetration and reduced weld fusion, the weld bead solidifies very quickly trapping gases inside the weld metal causing porosity.
  • Page 32 INSTALLATION & OPERATION Correct Travel Speed even shaped bead good toe fusion good penetration good side wall fusion Wire types and sizes - Use the correct wire type for the base metal being welded. Use stainless steel wire for stainless steel, Aluminum wires for Aluminum and steel wires for steel.
  • Page 33: Operation Environment

    INSTALLATION & OPERATION helps the current flow smoothly. The correct gas flow is also very important in protecting the welding zone from the atmosphere. Too low flow will give inadequate coverage and result in weld defects and unstable arc conditions. Too high flow can cause air to be drawn into the gas column and contaminate the weld zone.
